Sahih al-Bukhari 3525 (Book 62, Hadith 33)
were sitting with him, talking to him and asking him for more expenses, raising their voices above the
voice of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).
When `Umar asked for the permission to enter, the women quickly put on their veils. Allah’sf Apostle
allowed him to enter and `Umar came in while Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was smiling, `Umar said “O Allah’s
Apostle! May Allah always keep you smiling.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “These women who have been here,
roused my wonder, for as soon as they heard your voice, they quickly put on their veils. “`Umar said,
“O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! You have more right to be feared by them than I.” Then `Umar addressed the
women saying, “O enemies of yourselves! You fear me more than you do Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ?” They
said, “Yes, for you are harsher and sterner than Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “O Ibn
Al-Khattab! By Him in Whose Hands my life is! Never does Satan find you going on a way, but he
takes another way other than yours.”
